Answer to Question 1

Both involve cross-dressing, but the transvestite does it for sexual pleasure. The transvestite feels he is male and doesn't want to change genders. People with gender dysphoria believe they are the opposite gender and cross-dress to feel more appropriate. They typically wish to change genders.

Answer to Question 2

A delusion is a thought, a cognition, with no basis in reality. Common delusions involve believing that one's actions or thoughts are being controlled by some external force, that one's thoughts are being broadcasted, and that thoughts are being inserted into one's mind. These delusions are all consistent with the disorganized thoughts commonly seen in schizophrenia.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
